Abstract:
We predict where people will look in natural scenes using Machine Learning techniques on different video representations. One recent result is that sparser representations yield better predictability. Ultimately, we are incorporating these results into gaze-contingent displays that change the saliency of a scene in real time, in order to guide gaze and optimize visual communication.
